I am one of two cofounders of Converge, a startup we founded in 2014
to use physical data from construction sites to close the $1.6T
productivity deficit in the industry. In my capacity as CTO I work a
lot in both embedded systems and also complex event processing, ML, and
cloud-based software development. Unfortunately I do not spend as much
of my time programming as I would like these days, but I have been at
it since I was a small child, starting with Python and butchering DOS
games. These days I have a strong interest in functional programming
(it appeals to the mathematician in me), as well as stream processing
and distributed systems. I am also increasingly diving into statistics,
specifically machine learning as we introduce more intelligence into our
platform.

Before founding Converge, I was a star-fancier-in-training at King's
College, Cambridge, where I read Natural Sciences, followed by an MSci
in Astrophysics.

In the small amount of life one is allowed outside one's startup, I
am very interested (and dismayed) by the effect of corporate and state
surveillance on society, as well as the effects of the internet on
shaping human preferences.
